🔎 More women and children killed in #Gaza by Israeli military than any other recent conflict in a single year. 🔎 Israeli explosive weapons are regularly hitting homes, shelters, hospitals, schools and aid distribution points in Gaza. 🚨 It's been this way for a year.   The political failure to secure a ceasefire in Gaza, has caused hostilities and tragic loss of life to now spread in #Lebanon and other parts of the Middle East.   Everyone deserves to live in freedom, with dignity and self-determination.

Today and every day we think of the people – overwhelmingly Palestinian, as well as Israeli, Lebanese and those of other nationalities – who have been senselessly killed over the last year. And all Israeli hostages and illegally detained Palestinian prisoners. It’s now been one year since Israel began its devastating military offensive against Gaza, in response to the horrific attacks by Hamas and other Palestinian armed groups. The extreme violence has created an unimaginable nightmare for millions of people. It’s a catastrophic failure from complicit world leaders to demand a ceasefire and stop selling arms to Israel. Everyone deserves to live in freedom, with dignity and self-determination. World leaders must do everything in their power to bring peace and justice for all. #CeasefireNOW

🔴 Lebanon struggles to cope as over a million people flee Israel’s military invasion. We are working with local partners and alongside other aid agencies as part of the government’s humanitarian response plan. People need a #CeasefireNOW or there will be more deaths and destruction, and an already volatile region further inflamed.

🚨 BREAKING: More women and children have been killed in #Gaza by the Israeli military than any other recent conflict in a single year. 🚨 That’s over 6,000 women and 11,000 children who have been killed. 🚨 Every three hours on average, Israeli explosive weapons hit Palestinian homes, shelters, hospitals, schools and aid distribution points. Sign the petition to #StopArmingIsrael: bit.ly/StopArming_Israel As hostilities and tragic loss of life now spread in Lebanon and across the region, people urgently need a permanent #CeasefireNOW.     The UK government must do everything it can to help bring an end to the death and destruction, and end its complicity by immediately stopping ALL arms sales to Israel.

🔴 Our colleague in Beirut, Lebanon has provided this update. People are in dire need of essential services, you can help. Please give what you can now at https://lnkd.in/eJdq_Tj7

🔴 Oxfam is responding to the escalating crisis in Lebanon, providing essential support to the hundreds of thousands of people who have been forced to flee as Israeli airstrikes bombard their homes and communities. The influx of internally displaced people, primarily from southern Lebanon, will quickly create disastrous conditions for local communities, beyond the ability of an overloaded international humanitarian system to properly meet. Oxfam and our partners are supporting internally displaced people in shelters in Beirut, Mount Lebanon and North Lebanon with clean water and sanitation, emergency cash, food, and hygiene and menstrual hygiene kits.

Demand action ➡ bit.ly/StopArming_Israel The UK government is still exporting parts for F-35 jets that are bombing Palestinians in #Gaza. That’s why we’re at Labour Party Conference #Lab24 in Liverpool with one urgent demand: SUSPEND ALL ARMS TO ISRAEL.
